CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application No. 62/962,090, filed on 16 Jan. 2020, entitled “UPLINK POWER CONTROL PARAMETERS FOR REPETITIONS OF PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS,” and assigned to the assignee hereof. The disclosure of the prior application is considered part of and is incorporated by reference in this patent application.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for configuring uplink power control parameters for repetitions of physical uplink shared channel transmissions.

BACKGROUND

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, and/or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

A wireless communication network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A UE may communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, and/or the like.

The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. NR, which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, there exists a need for further improvements in LTE and NR technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and the telecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

SUMMARY

In some aspects, a method of wireless communication, performed by a user equipment (UE), may include transmitting (e.g. to a first transmission reception point (TRP)) a first repetition of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communication using a first set of values for a set of uplink power control (ULPC) parameters; and transmitting (e.g., to a second TRP), a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, a UE for wireless communication may include memory and one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory. The memory and the one or more processors may be configured to transmit (e.g., to a first TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCH communication using a first set of values for a set of ULPC parameters; and transmit (e.g., to a second TRP) a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store one or more instructions for wireless communication. The one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, may cause the UE to: transmit (e.g., to a first TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCH communication using a first set of values for a set of ULPC parameters; and transmit (e.g., to a second TRP) a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication may include means for transmitting (e.g., to a first TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCH communication using a first set of values for a set of ULPC parameters; and means for transmitting (e.g., to a second TRP) a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

Aspects generally include a method, apparatus, system, computer program product, non-transitory computer-readable medium, user equipment, base station, wireless communication device, and/or processing system as substantially described herein with reference to and as illustrated by the drawings and specification.

Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented, or a method may be practiced, using any number of the aspects set forth herein.

It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, and/or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with 3G and/or 4G wireless technologies, aspects of the present disclosure can be applied in other generation-based communication systems, such as 5G and later, including New Radio (NR) technologies.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 100 in which aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NR network. The wireless network 100 may include a number of BSs 110 (shown as BS 110 a, BS 110 b, BS 110 c, and BS 110 d) and other network entities. ABS is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs) and may also be referred to as a base station, a NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a TRP, and/or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). ABS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. ABS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a BS 110 a may be a macro BS for a macro cell 102 a, a BS 110 b may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102 b, and a BS 110 c may be a femto BS for a femto cell 102 c. A BS may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein.

In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces such as a direct physical connection, a virtual network, and/or the like using any suitable transport network.

Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a relay station 110 d may communicate with macro BS 110 a and a UE 120 d in order to facilitate communication between BS 110 a and UE 120 d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relay base station, a relay, and/or the like.

Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, and/or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul.

UEs 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, 120 c) may be dispersed throughout wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, and/or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, and/or the like, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components, memory components, and/or the like.

In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular radio access technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, and/or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, and/or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120 a and UE 120 e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, and/or the like), a mesh network, and/or the like. In this case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

As indicated above, FIG. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 1.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a design 200 of base station 110 and UE 120, which may be one of the base stations and one of the UEs in FIG. 1. Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234 a through 234 t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252 a through 252 r, where in general T≥1 and R≥1.

At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from a data source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI) and/or the like) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, and/or the like) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., the cell-specific reference signal (CRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232 a through 232 t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM and/or the like) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232 a through 232 t may be transmitted via T antennas 234 a through 234 t, respectively. According to various aspects described in more detail below, the synchronization signals can be generated with location encoding to convey additional information.

At UE 120, antennas 252 a through 252 r may receive the downlink signals from base station 110 and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254 a through 254 r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM and/or the like) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254 a through 254 r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. A channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), and/or the like. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports comprising RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, and/or the like) from controller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254 a through 254 r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, and/or the like), and transmitted to base station 110. At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators 232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller/processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller/processor 290, and memory 292.

Controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with configuring ULPC parameters for repetitions of physical uplink shared channel transmissions, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 400 of FIG. 4 and/or other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and/or memory 282 may comprise a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the base station 110 and/or the UE 120, may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 400 of FIG. 4 and/or other processes as described herein. A scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmission on the downlink and/or uplink.

In some aspects, UE 120 may include means for transmitting (e.g., to a first TRP) a first repetition of a PUSCH communication using a first set of values for a set of ULPC parameters; means for transmitting (e.g., to a second TRP) a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters; and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120 described in connection with FIG. 2, such as controller/processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and/or the like.

As indicated above, FIG. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 2.

A UE may configure a set of ULPC parameters for transmitting a PUSCH communication. The UE may select a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters based at least in part on an indicator within a downlink control information (DCI) communication (e.g., a DCI communication that schedules the PUSCH communication). For example, the indicator may be a sounding reference signal (SRS) reference indicator (SRI) power control identifier that is associated with the PUSCH communication.

The UE may transmit repetitions of the PUSCH communication to improve reliability and/or robustness of the PUSCH communication. For example, a BS may configure a UE to transmit a plurality of repetitions of the same PUSCH communication (e.g., a plurality of repetitions of the same PUSCH transport block), where each repetition may be directed to a TRP among a plurality of TRPs in a multi-TRP configuration, an antenna panel among a plurality of antenna panels in a multi-panel configuration, or an antenna among a plurality of antennas in a multi-antenna configuration. Thus, if an access link between the UE and a TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) is blocked such that a repetition transmitted to the TRP is not received, another repetition transmitted to another TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) may be received such that the PUSCH communication can be decoded.

However, in instances where the UE transmits a first set of repetitions to a first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) and a second set of repetitions to a second TRP (or antenna panel or antenna), the same set of values for the set of ULPC parameters are applied to all of the repetitions regardless of the TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) to which the repetitions are transmitted, a difference in pathloss between transmissions to the first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) and transmissions to the second TRP (or antenna panel or antenna), and/or the like.

In some aspects described herein, a UE may transmit (e.g., to a first TRP, a first antenna panel, or a first antenna), a first repetition of a PUSCH communication (e.g., associated a transport block) using a first set of values for a set of ULPC parameters. The UE may transmit (e.g., to a second TRP, a second antenna panel, or a second antenna), a second repetition of the PUSCH communication using a second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters. In this way, the UE is able to transmit the first repetition to the first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) with a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters that are configured for transmitting to the first TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) and to transmit the second repetition to the second TRP (or antenna panel or antenna) with a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters that are configured for transmitting to the second TRP (or antenna panel or antenna). This may conserve power, computing, and/or network resources that may otherwise be consumed by transmitting to each TRP (or antenna panel or antenna), regardless of pathloss or other factors to be considered with configuring the set of ULPC parameters, using the same configuration of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

For ease of explanation, the description to follow will relate to a UE that is configured to transmit a plurality of repetitions of a PUSCH communication to different TRPs in a multi-TRP configuration. It is to be understood that the description equally applies to a UE that is configured to transmit a plurality of repetitions of a PUSCH communication (e.g., of a same transport block) to different antenna panels in a multi-panel configuration and/or different antennas in a multi-antenna configuration.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams illustrating an example 300 of configuring ULPC parameters for repetitions of physical uplink shared channel transmissions, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. FIGS. 3A and 3B show a UE (e.g., UE 120), a first TRP (e.g., base station 110), and a second TRP (e.g., base station 110). In some aspects, the UE, the first TRP, and the second TRP may be included in a network, such as wireless network 100. In some aspects, the UE may communicate with the first TRP or the second TRP on a wireless access link, which may include a downlink and an uplink.

As shown in FIG. 3A, and by reference number 310, the UE may receive a configuration message. In some aspects, the UE receives the configuration message from the first TRP, the second TRP, another TRP of the network, a network controller (e.g., network controller 130), and/or the like.

In some aspects, the configuration message may provide a mapping for a plurality of indications to a plurality of sets of values for a set of ULPC parameters. For example, the mapping may include a set of indications that are mapped to respective sets of candidate values for the set of ULPC parameters. The mapping may indicate that, based at least in part on receiving an indication of the set of indications, the UE is to configure the set of ULPC parameters with a set of values that are mapped to the indication. In some aspects, the mapping may indicate that, based at least in part on receiving an indication (e.g., comprising a first indicator and/or a second indicator) of the set of indications, the UE is to configure the set of ULPC parameters with a first set of values for transmitting a first repetition of a PUSCH communication and to configure the set of ULPC parameters with a second set of values for transmitting a second repetition of the PUSCH communication (e.g., the first repetition and the second repetition may be associated with a single transport block). In some aspects, the indication may include a first indicator that maps to the first set of values and a second indicator that maps to the second set of values.

In some aspects, the set of ULPC parameters may include values for P0, alpha, a pathloss reference signal, a closed loop index, and/or a transmit power control (TPC) command. The set of ULPC parameters may be used in a power control formula to determine a transmission power for transmitting a repetition of the PUSCH communication. In some aspects, P0 may represent a target received power, alpha may represent a compensation factor in a power control formula, and the pathloss reference signal may indicate an amount of pathloss (e.g., an amount of signal power lost during transmission to a TRP). One or more parameters, such as P0, alpha, and/or pathloss (e.g., determined from a pathloss reference signal) may comprise an open loop portion of the ULPC and one or more additional parameters, such as closed loop index and/or TPC command may comprise a closed loop portion of the set of ULPC parameters. The closed loop portion of the set of ULPC parameters may comprise one or more parameters that are based at least in part on information received from the network (e.g., a TRP)

In some aspects, the configuration message may include a configured grant. The configured grant may indicate the first set of values and the second set of values within the configured grant. For example, the configured grant may include an indication (e.g., including a first indicator and a second indicator) mapped to the first set of values and mapped to the second set of values. In some aspects, the configured grant may include the first set of values and the second set of values within the configured grant (e.g., without an indication in a separate (e.g., DCI) communication). For example, the configured grant may indicate a first closed loop index associated with the first set of values and a second closed loop index associated with the second set of values.

In some aspects, the configured grant may be a type 1 configured grant (e.g., provided via radio resource control (RRC) signaling and stored as a configured uplink grant) or a type 2 configured grant (e.g., provided by a communication via a physical downlink control channel, and stored or cleared as a configured uplink grant based at least in part on layer 1 signaling to activate or deactivate the configured uplink grant). In some aspects in which the configured grant is a type 1 configured grant, the configured grant may indicate a first value for a first pathloss reference signal (PL RS) of the first set of values and a second value for a second PL RS of the second set of values.

In some aspects in which the configured grant is a type 2 configured grant, the UE may be configured to receive an indication of a first value for a first PL RS of the first set of values and a second value for a second PL RS of the second set of values. Based at least in part on the indication, the UE may configure the set of ULPC parameters with the first set of values comprising the first value for the first PL RS and configure the set of ULPC parameters with the second set of values comprising the second value for the second PL RS.

As shown by reference number 320, the UE may receive an indication of sets of values for a set of ULPC parameters. In some aspects, the indication may comprise a single DCI communication (e.g., a same DCI communication that schedules the PUSCH communication). In some aspects, the indication may include one or more indicators that map to one or more values for configuring the set of ULPC parameters and/or may indicate whether the UE is to apply the one or more values to the first set of values or the second set of values. For example, a single indicator may identify an entire set of values, a partial set of values, or a single value of a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, the indication may include a single SRI power control identifier (e.g., sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId) for the PUSCH communication (e.g., within an SRI field of a DCI communication that schedules the PUSCH communication). The single SRI power control identifier may be mapped to the first set of values and the second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters (e.g., two P0 values, two alpha values, two PL RS values, two closed loop index values, and/or the like).

In some aspects, one or more indications may be mapped (e.g., based at least in part on the configuration message) to a single set of values for the set of ULPC parameters. If the UE receives an indication that maps to a single set of values for the set of ULPC parameters, the UE may apply the single set of values to the first repetition, the second repetition, or both repetitions (e.g., based at least in part on an indicator within the indication, based at least in part on a transmission order of the repetitions, and/or the like).

In some aspects, the UE may be configured to use a first SRS resource and a second SRS resource for transmitting a first SRS communication and a second SRS communication, respectively. In some aspects, each SRS resource may be separately configured with respective sets of values for the set of ULPC parameters. The first SRS resource may be configured to use, for transmitting the first SRS communication, a set of values (e.g., the first set of values) and the second SRS resource may be configured to use, for transmitting the second SRS communication, another set of values (e.g., the second set of values).

In some aspects, the UE may receive the indication to identify the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource. The indication may identify the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource via an SRI field (e.g., an SRI codepoint field) of the DCI. Based at least in part on the indication, the UE may use the first set of values for transmitting the first repetition (e.g., based at least in part on the indication identifying the first SRS resource associated with the first set of values) and the UE may use the second set of values for transmitting the second repetition (e.g., based at least in part on the indication identifying the second SRS resource associated with the second set of values). In this way, an SRI power control identifier is not required for transmitting the PUSCH communication based at least in part on the UE configuring values for the set of ULPC parameters based at least in part on values associated with SRS resources indicated by an SRI field of the DCI.

In some aspects, the first set of values identifies a first closed loop index for the first repetition and the second set of values identifies a second closed loop index for the second repetition. The indication may include a TPC value that indicates a first TPC command associated with the first closed loop index and/or a second TPC command associated with the second closed loop index. For example, the DCI may include the first TPC command in a first set of bits (e.g., a first bit and a second bit) of a DCI field (e.g., a TPC field) and may include the second TPC command in a second set of bits (e.g., a third bit and a fourth bit) of the DCI field (e.g., the TPC field).

As shown by reference number 330, the UE may configure the set of ULPC parameters with the first set of values for the first repetition of the PUSCH communication and with the second set of values for the second repetition of the PUSCH communication.

In some aspects, when the indication comprises a first TPC command associated with the first closed loop index and a second TPC command associated with the second closed loop index, the UE may determine that the first TPC command is associated with the first closed loop index based at least in part on a first indicator of the indication and may determine that the second TPC command is associated with the second closed loop index based at least in part on a second indicator of the indication. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the first TPC command is associated with the first closed loop index based at least in part on the first TPC command being indicated in a first ordered set of bits in a DCI field (e.g., an SRI field) and may determine that the second TPC command is associated with the second closed loop index based at least in part on the second TPC command being indicated in a second ordered set of bits in the DCI field (e.g., an SRI field).

In some aspects, in which a DCI communication (e.g., comprising the indication) comprises a TPC command associated with one of the first closed loop index or the second closed loop index, the UE may determine that the TPC command is associated with one of the first closed loop index or the second closed loop index based at least in part on an indicator in the DCI communication, the first closed loop index being an initial closed loop index in a set of closed loop indexes, and/or the like.

In some aspects, the UE may apply a single TPC command to a first closed loop associated with the first closed loop index and/or to a second closed loop associated with the second closed loop index. In other words, the UE may apply the single TPC command to only one of the closed loops or to both of the closed loops.

In some aspects where the configuration message comprises a configured grant, the UE, based at least in part on the configured grant, may configure the set of ULPC parameters with the first set of values for transmitting the first repetition and may configure the set of ULPC parameters with the second set of values for transmitting the second repetition. In some aspects where the configured grant is a type 1 configured grant, the UE may determine the first set of values (e.g., including a first PL RS) and the second set of values (e.g., including a second PL RS) within the configured grant and/or from another communication from the network. In some aspects where the configured grant is a type 2 configured grant, the UE may determine the first set of values (e.g., including a first PL RS) and the second set of values (e.g., including a second PL RS) based at least in part on an indication of a first value for the first PL RS of the first set of values and a second value for the second PL RS of the second set of values. Based at least in part on the indication, the UE may configure the set of ULPC parameters with the first set of values comprising the first value for the first PL RS and may configure the set of ULPC parameters with the second set of values comprising the second value for the second PL RS.

As shown in FIG. 3B, and by reference number 340, the UE may transmit one or more repetitions of the PUSCH communication to the first TRP based at least in part on values configured for the set of ULPC parameters. For example, the UE may transmit the first repetition of the PUSCH communication to the first TRP using the first set of values for the set of ULPC parameters. As shown by reference number 350, the UE may transmit one or more repetitions (e.g., including the second repetition) of the PUSCH communication to the second TRP based at least in part on values configured for the set of ULPC parameters. For example, the UE may transmit the second repetition of the PUSCH communication to the second TRP using the second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

In some aspects, the UE may transmit additional repetitions (e.g., in addition to the first repetition and the second repetition) to the first TRP and/or the second TRP. The UE may use the first set of values and/or the second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters for transmitting the additional repetitions. In some aspects, the UE may select the first set of values or the second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters of a particular additional repetition based at least in part on a mapping of the particular additional repetition of the PUSCH communication to the first set of values (e.g., to the first repetition) or to the second set of values (e.g., to the second repetition). In some aspects, the mapping may be configured based at least in part on a fixed mapping configuration. For example, the UE may use the indication to determine that the UE is to use the first set of values for odd numbered repetitions (e.g., in a sequential order of repetitions) and to use the second set of values for even numbered repetitions (or vice versa). In other words, the UE may alternate between using the first set of values and the second set of values for transmitting successive repetitions of the PUSCH communication. In some aspects, the mapping may be configured based at least in part on RRC signaling, a DCI communication (e.g., dynamically), and/or the like.

Based at last in part on the UE transmitting the first repetition to the first TRP with a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters that are configured for transmitting to the first TRP and transmitting the second repetition to the second TRP with a set of values for the set of ULPC parameters that are configured for transmitting to the second TRP, the UE may conserve power, computing, and/or network resources that may otherwise be consumed by transmitting to each TRP, regardless of pathloss or other factors to be considered with configuring the set of ULPC parameters, using the same configuration of values for the set of ULPC parameters.

As shown in FIG. 3C, a TPC command field may include a set of bits (e.g., a set of 2 bits) that can be mapped according to a TPC mapping (e.g., based at least in part on the configuration message). In some aspects, the TPC command may be accumulated (e.g., based at least in part on an adjustment from a previous TPC value). In some aspects, the TPC command may be absolute (e.g., a value that is independent from a previous TPC value). In some aspects, the UE may be configured to interpret a TPC command as accumulated or as absolute based at least in part on configuration information (e.g., within the configuration message). In some aspects, the DCI message may include two TPC command fields (e.g., a TPC command field with 4 bits to receive two TPC command field values in 2-bit portions of the TPC command field).

As shown in FIG. 3D, the configuration message may provide configuration information to map an SRI power control identifier with two sets of values for the set of ULPC parameters. For example, the mapping may include a sequence of values for one or more of the ULPC parameters. In FIG. 3D, sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId refers to an SRI power control identifier, sri-PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id refers to a PL RS identifier, sri-P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId refers to a P0 and alpha identifier, and sri-PUSCH-ClosedLoopIndex refers to a closed loop index identifier.

As shown in FIG. 3E, a value in a TPC command field may map to two separate TPC commands based on a mapping that can be configured via RRC signaling, fixed in a protocol, and/or the like. For example, a TPC command field value of 0 may map to TPC commands of (−1,0), a TPC command field value of 1 may map to TPC commands of (0,−1), a TPC command field value of 2 may map to TPC commands of (0,0), and a TPC command field value of 3 may map to TPC commands of (3,1) to apply to the first closed loop index and the second closed loop index.

As shown in FIG. 3F, a DCI communication may provide two sets of values for the set of ULPC parameters to apply to a plurality of repetitions. In some aspects, the first set of values for the set of ULPC parameters may apply to a PUSCH transmission occasion 1 and a PUSCH transmission occasion 3. The second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters may apply to a PUSCH transmission occasion 2 and a PUSCH transmission occasion 4. This configuration of alternating between the sets of values for the set of ULPC may be based at least in part on the configuration message (e.g., via RRC signaling). In some aspects, the UE may use another mapping pattern, such as using the first set of values for the set of ULPC parameters for the PUSCH transmission occasions 1 and 2 and the second set of values for the set of ULPC parameters for the PUSCH transmission occasions 3 and 4.

As indicated above, FIGS. 3A-3F are provided as one or more examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to FIGS. 3A-3F.
